I'm having trouble configuring my network parameters. I can't get the system to use a host other than localhost (127.0.0.1). Here is the situation/issues that I've got: I've got an Intel 32-bit PCI ethernet card (I think its a Pro/10 but I'm not sure; I can find out if it matters). During installation (2.2.1), everything went OK but the installation never got to the Ethernet board network configuration part of the installation as shown in the installation guide. I got a list of serial/parallel devices (lp0, etc) with no ethernet board on the list (the install guide shows ed1 as an example of what one would see here. Do I see none because the Ethernet board is PCI?. Consequently, it never asked me for the host name, IP address, gateway, etc. I chose cancel at the list of SLIP/PPP devices and it went on to other things. When I do an ifconfig -a I get the lo0 loopback device (I can ping it also) but I don't get anything else (other than sl0, tun0 and lp0). Shouldn't I see ix0 or ed0 of something like that? What is the name of the interface I should use? If I ifconfig any of the above I get a message that says the interface does not exist.. Also, during boot up the system detects the Intel Ethernet board at pci0:13: and gives some int and irq info and says [no driver assigned]. Should it be assigning a driver? Why can I ping localhost but can't get any other host/ip address assigned to my network card? I defined 10.0.0.2 myname (the default) in etc/hosts. When I try to ping this I get no route to host. However, I can't add a route because I get network is unreachable. Basically, all I want to do is define an interface and host name/IP address other than localhost and be able to ping it. I can't get that far. What's going on? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks
